   The Truth About Betting on Yourself, Building a Business & Going Viral | Anjeanette Carter

   What happens when you believe in yourself before there’s any evidence that you’re right? Anjeanette Carter built a seven-figure copywriting and ghostwriting business, a growing personal brand, a bestselling Substack newsletter, and The Breadboard job board. But the interesting part isn’t the success. It’s what happened when things didn’t work. In this episode of Messy Growth, we talk about what it actually means to bet on yourself, how to know when persistence turns into delusion, why going viral is overrated, and why you don’t need a massive audience to build a real business. Anjanette also shares why she believes builders should stop boxing themselves into one identity, why consistency matters more than chasing viral moments, and what she’s learned from failing along the way. And yes, we talk about the uncomfortable part of entrepreneurship that most people leave out: Sometimes you work your ass off and it still doesn’t work. So what do you do then? The difference between confidence and delusion When persistence becomes a problem How to know when it’s time to change direction Why “never give up” is terrible advice on its own Why going viral isn’t the same as building a business How to build an audience without chasing millions of followers Why consistency beats virality How Anjanette built a seven-figure copywriting business Building a personal brand before you actually need one Why you don’t have to be just one thing The future of newsletters, content and personal brands Why builders keep building And the uncomfortable reality of entrepreneurship One line from the conversation stuck with me: “The suck won’t last forever.” If you’re building something right now and wondering whether you’re crazy for continuing, this one’s for you.

   Everyone Is “Connected.” So Why Is Everyone Lonely? | Maggie Arai

   We’re supposedly more connected than we’ve ever been.So why are so many people lonely?This week’s conversation completely changed how I think about community, networking, AI companions, social media, and why so many events fail to create real human connection.Maggie Arai has spent years helping brands and creators turn online audiences into real communities through in-person experiences. We talked about why adults struggle to make friends, why boring networking events refuse to die, whether AI companions are making loneliness worse, and why the future might actually belong to people who can bring others together.Some of my favorite moments:• Why “networking” feels so awkward for most people.• The real reason adults struggle to make friends.• AI companions, therapy bots, and the unintended consequences nobody is talking about.• Why online communities rarely become real communities.• The biggest mistake brands make when they host events.• Why human connection might become even more valuable in the age of AI.If you’ve ever felt like social media gives you more notifications than relationships, I think you’ll enjoy this one.Connect with Maggie:   / maggie-arai   (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUM4Zm9rUnVoSGZjNjZDQ1haSDVqQzRMMTBwRHxBR3JiS2FrZFpGd2h2N2FmRlFWYmtvdXRuYWNlczhUYkRDcF9jbDZsWjJ3QWJpWFdHR0sxbERSWFBVSjZZTExrR2hPWEgzaHREUkZYYmo0eWNXVm9TNnF1UUtGUzQzQ19xRHlm&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fmaggie-arai%2F&v=RxNjIFqNFZo)
